Beyond: Two Souls is an interactive drama action-adventure game developed by Quantic Dream for the PlayStation 3. Like the previous game by Quantic Dream, Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls focuses on an emotional narrative that the player invests in rather than fancy action sequences.

The game follows Jodie Holmes through fifteen years of her life and explores her connection with the supernatural entity known as 'Aiden'. After being left by her foster parents she is brought up by researchers Nathan Dawkins and Cole Freeman, who conduct research on the infraworld for the fictional United States Department of Paranormal Activity, the DPA.

Beyond: Two Souls is broken into twenty-four chapters which make up Jodie Holmes' life. The story follows her growth over time and her developing connection with the supernatural being Aiden. The chapters are presented in a broken order, which then make up a chronological timeline. The game starts with a prologue, which chronologically comes after all the gameplay. The entirety of the gameplay therefore goes toward that point.

Beyond: Two Souls is an interactive drama action-adventure game that focuses on an emotional narrative that the player invests in rather than fancy action sequences. Gameplay is split between its two connected, playable protagonists: Jodie and Aiden.

Collectibles can only be viewed when using Aiden, and are typically hidden outside of normal sight. There are twenty-two hidden collectibles in total. Once found, they unlock bonuses that can be viewed from the main menu.
